C.—Play ing in a strange atmosphere of straight NCAA rules Chowan College Braves battled the Cit adel freshmen to a 0-0 dead lock Thursday night. Chowan pushed to the 27-yard line in the second quarter but could not move the ball past the Citadel defense. The Braves had the ball when the game ended «nd anpeared enroute to pay dirt following four consecu tive first downs, but time ran out on the Citadel 37-yard line. Biggest threat of the Citadel frosh came in the final stanza when Chowan lost a fumble on a reverse at the Chowan 15-yard line. The cadets could not ad vance and a field goal attempt was blocked by Brave Sidney Weaver to put out the fire. Bobby Gray, Chowan's strong est backfield weapon, was in jured during first quarter ac tion and may be out for the season. Garrison commended line backer Gerald Jones for his “best game of the year.” Jonas won the school’s “Defensive Player of The Week” award for the third week since the season got under way in September. Garrison said Tommy Greer “looked good.” Thursday night, November 17, Chowan closed out the 1960 sea son against University of Rich mond freshmen on the Murfrees boro Athletic field. Wingate, Braves in Exciting Tie Game On October 21, Chowan played host to Wingate College in what had been predicted as a defen sive battle turned into a strong offensive show as the teams fought to a 12-12 tie. Wingate scored first in the first quarter on an option play when Quarterback Larry Walker Ditched to Harry Stokes who turned the corner and ran 50 yards for the Bulldogs first touchdown, which ended the first period at 6-0. With some very fine runing from Dick Mansfield and Bobby Gray, Chowan started a 70-yard drive with Gray going over for the TD from the 3-yard line. Norvell tried for the extra point, but it went wide and JJie score at the end of the first half was 6-6. As the second half began Cho wan kicked to Wingate and after two first downs without reaching scoring position the Bulldogs were forced to kick. On a sustained drive the Braves went down to scoring territory where Gray carried it over from seven yards o^t. The extra point was no good and the Braves led 12-6. There was no scoring just a defensive battle up until the last two minutes to go. Chowan had the ball on their own 40-yard line. A first down, a holding penalty, a gain and a Chowan kick to the Bulldogs which went over the kicker’s head after a bad snap from center was fol lowed by Chowan’s recovery on their 20 yard line. The Bulldogs took over and on the first play a pass from Walker to Stokes was successful ior a seven yard gain. With five seconds to go time was called by Wingate and on the second play Walker again connected with Stokes for 13- yards and the final touchdown. One of the largest turnouts in Chowan history witnessed the almost evenly matched affair, on October 15, between the Braves of Chowan and Ferrum College of Rocky Mount, Va. A 60-yard pass play in the fourth quarter from Jay Black wood to Buddy Cash was the key play in Ferrum’s 13-6 vic tory over Chowan. Ferrum pushed inside the Braves 30-yard line only on its two scoring plays and the Braves defensive unit, which coach Garrison said to show strong resistance stopped Fer rum’s former All-American in high school, Roger Whitley cold. Chowan came to life in the second period as they clicked on a 60-yard drive headed by Ken Blanchard and Bobby Gray. Bobby Gray made the touch down from a three yard plunge. The extra point attempted was unsuccessful. Both teams scored in the second period, after recovering a blocked kick on the Brave’s 4-yard line, Ferrum faked a field goal and passed to Whit ley in the left flat for a touch down. The kick for the extra point was blocked by Gray and the halftime score was, 6-6. Ferrum scored the only other touchdown of the game later in the fourth quarter on a pass play, the extra point attempt was made by Sammy Bingham. Bobby Gray and Ken Blanch ard were the standouts for Chowan on offense, until the second period of the game Ralph Moses showed very good at halfback for Chowan. The very large crowd on hand witnessed the crowning of the annual Homecoming Queen. Miss Vivian Burgess of Conway was chosen Queen and reigned over the entire homeooming fes- tivites at Chowan. Chowan Fairum 14 First Downs 13 135 Yards Rushing 124 70 Yards Passing 110 17 Passes Attempted 15 6 Passes Completed 6 1 Passes Intercepted 1 2 Fumbles Lost 2 50 Yards Penalized 85 1 • Lions Go Down Before Braves Seeking revenge from their last defeat at the hands of Fre derick College of Portsmouth, Va., the Braves of Chowan put on a very fine second half show to give them a 9-0 victory over the Lions. Quarterback Harvey Reinhardt and his teammate, Bobby Gray, proved to be the big guns for Chowan as Gray gained a total of 132 yards and Reinhardt scored the only touch down of the game. Gray, with his splendid of fense, gave the Braves their only first down during the first half with a 61-yard run with 50-seconds remaining in the half. Not only did Gray race for 61-yards but he reeled off a 30-yard gain for an eight yards average per-carry. Quarterback Reinhardt spark ed the Braves with a 19-yard plunge around right end for the very important touchdown. Cho wan also added a safety to com plete the scoring. The kicking of Don Bedford also figured in the Braves vic tory, coming through several times to boot Chowan out of trouble. Bedford averaged 42- yards on eight trys. Linemen James McGill, David Norris and Richard Thompson turned in top performances. Braves Hope to Improve Rating Now that the football season is drawing to a close, it is time to look at Chowans basketball prospects. The Braves are hoping for a much better season than last year’s record of 16-10. However there is a pretty dif ficult schedule ahead, with strong competition. Jim Gar rison puts it “This year, there will be a very tough conference battle and the teams to watch very closely are Frederick, Wil mington, Louisburg and Camp bell Colleges. With 24 games on the sched ule, the Braves will be depend ing heavily on the returning players from last year. Captain Clarence Nichols, who aver aged 20-points a game, will again lead the team.
